Researching Firsts

The schooling system could be credited to multiple people but it’s impossible to define it down to one specific person. Those couple of people would be Horace Mann and Harry.P.School. I chose the topic “Who invented school?” because it relates to me and it is a simple and supposedly easy topic to do.when i started looking into it i realized that most of all of the information is about america and no where else. school is important because without it we would be education less and wouldn't have any common sense about anything.


First off Harry (Harry.P.School) and Horace (Horace Mann) were from different times and different countries Horace was from Massachusetts (1796 - 1859) and there was nothing on Harry except for when he started his work on school, 1369. Harry was credited more for the idea of school. Harry started by gathering all of the naughty neighborhood children and putting them in a room for a day. Parents started to like the idea and supported Harry by looking after the kids for him.


Horace was the secretary of education in Massachusetts when he put down his idea of a system run by professional teachers that would teach kids/ students an organised curriculum of basic content like math and English. That is how he became known as the schooling creator.
